This hotel is simply the best in all aspects, great ambience, aesthetically designed, I simply loved the interior and exterior decoration, meticulously planned and designed, I could not resist taking photos at the bar the because the way it is designed, breakfast was best with options to chose from, front desk team helped me to chose the type of activities with some great recommendations.. they have accommodated our request for keeping luggage as well as use of washrooms when we returned even after we returned.. all in all a great place to stay at Monteverde..

Sibu Lodge is absolutely beautiful. The grounds and common areas are well-kept, and the room was lovely. There was a small fridge and we received a complimentary half-bottle of wine. We had happy hour drinks and food at the restaurant, and a lovely breakfast was provided. The town was about a 10-minute walk, so accessible, but the return trip to the hotel was very steep. The staff at the hotel set up our reservations for a zip line tour and a coffee farm tour, and we were able to include transportation for both activities. This is a lovely hotel, and I highly recommend it.

Really nice boutique hotel….clean, attentive staff, restaurant was really good! Had a really upscale salad w grilled chicken that was better than some CA places! not really a walkable area, but no fault on them, Sibū is a little Oasis off the pothole roads! Hotel is near Monteverde Cloud Forest, The Wildlife Refuge nite walk and Don Juan coffee tours!

The rooms had a cottage feel but located close to each other . Our family in 3 rooms were able to get together in the nicely apointed lobby and the 2 restaurants. These places were tastefully decorated with very exquisite artefacts. It was also conveniently located close to santa Elena town where many dining options were available at a walking ditance. The staff were very friendly, courteous and professional The food was very tasty. Overall our family enjoyed staying at Sibu lodge

Strongly recommend this hotel!

We loved staying here. We had 2 rooms & both were very clean with super soft sheets. Though we were in the city, the hotel's use of plants all around made it an oasis. The Happy Hour was wonderful & the included breakfast was loved by my kids. Strongly recommend this hotel.
